Synopsis
Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Mortality Rates of the City of New York
Including that of 1900, there have been made twelve enumerations of the people of the United States. Much data and valuable information have been gathered regarding the population and deaths, but we have thus far contented ourselves with mere guesses as to the possible trend of the death rates.
The vital statistics of no period have been crystalized into a mortality table. It is unfortunate that such is the case, but it is to be hoped that the Census Bureau, which has been lately made a permanent institution, will in the near future set before us a table describing the mortality rates of our people at the beginning of this, the twentieth, century. I should indeed be pleased to have the honor of constructing the American Table No. 1, but such a task is far too great for the time at my disposal. I have determined, however, to lay before the Society an investigation into the mortality rates of some community large enough to give an average, and for this purpose have chosen that of the City of New York, whose vital statistics are near at hand.

An Investigation Into the Mortality Rates of the City of New York
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines mortality rates in New York City from 1899 to 1901, creating mortality tables for men and women in the city and comparing them to the English Life Table No. 3 from the mid-19th century. The book also discusses the progress that's been made in medicine and sanitation since that time. The author argues that while New York City's mortality rates have improved since the mid-19th century, there is still much that can be done to improve public health, especially in the areas of water quality and infectious diseases like typhoid fever and tuberculosis. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on mortality rates and public health in New York City, and its insights are still relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333222185_0
